Meat Pie

Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 3.5 oz
Self-rising flour - 1.4 oz
Butter - 3.2 oz
Bacon - 2 pieces
Onion - 1 head
Lean Beef - 26.5 oz
Campbell's Beef Broth - 12 fl oz
Worcestershire Sauce - 2 tablespoons
Passata Tomato Sauce - 4.4 oz
English Dry Mustard - 1 tablespoon
Herbes de Provence - 2 teaspoons
Puff Pastry - 13.2 oz
Egg white - 1 piece

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Combine all the flour, reserving 2 tablespoons of wheat flour, with the butter in a food processor. Add 1 tablespoon of water and mix until smooth, adding more water if necessary. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Roll out the dough on a baking sheet to a size slightly larger than the pan in which your pie will be baked. Transfer to the pan and chill.

Step 2

Heat some vegetable oil in a skillet and sauté the finely chopped bacon and onion for about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook for another 4 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of flour and stir for 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the broth, paste, sauce, herbs, and mustard, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring constantly, for 8 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Cool and spoon onto the dough in the pan.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 410°F.

Step 5

Roll out the puff pastry slightly larger than the size of the pan. Brush the edges of the bottom dough with beaten egg and cover with a sheet of puff pastry. Pinch the edges tightly and create a border. Brush the top with beaten egg and bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 356°F and bake for another 25 minutes.
